How to Grow
Start seeds indoors 5–7 weeks before last frost, sowing ¼ inch deep. Transplant outdoors when seedlings have 4–6 true leaves, spacing plants 18 inches apart in well-drained, fertile soil (pH 6.0–7.0). Broccoli thrives in cool weather (55–75°F) — avoid planting during hot spells. Apply mulch to keep soil cool and retain moisture. After harvesting the main head, cut at a 45° angle 6 inches down the stem; side shoots will continue producing for weeks.
Growth Phases
1
Germination (5–10 days)
Seeds sprout tiny shoots breaking through the soil surface
2
Seedling (2–3 weeks)
First true leaves appear; plant needs bright light to avoid getting leggy
3
Vegetative (4–5 weeks)
Rapid leaf and stem growth; plant stores energy for head formation
4
Head Formation (3–4 weeks)
Tight cluster of green buds forms at the centre of the plant
5
Harvest (Ongoing)
Main head cut; side shoots continue producing smaller heads for weeks
Care Tips
- •Water at the base — never overhead, to prevent rot and fungal disease
- •Mulch around plants to keep soil cool and moist
- •Harvest in the morning when heads are firm, tight, and dark green
- •Cut at a 45° angle to prevent water pooling on the stalk
- •Side-dress with low-nitrogen fertilizer (5-10-10) 3 weeks after transplanting
- •Avoid planting broccoli (or any brassica) in the same spot for 3 years
- •Use row covers to protect against cabbage worms and flea beetles
